Bernama threw a farewell party for Azman Ujang and his wife at its HQ on Monday. Chief Editor Yong Soo Heong gave the farewell speech, wishing his old boss good luck and all that. The usual goodbye stuff.
Azman have told his buddies he's likely to join Bernama TV, the news agency TV channel said to function like CNN, BBC and Aljazeera. The station started well but is now seen as yet another Government propaganda machinery.
Azman was chairman of the MPI for a while. It was during his time that he bestowed Zainuddin Maidin the Tokoh Wartawan Negara soon after Zainuddin gave RM5 million to the MPI as a grant for its programme.
Bernama is also doing a big reshuffle of its editorial staff. Expects details soon.
There's also talk that Zainuddin is to be made our ambassador to Indonesia.
Utusan's Khalid Mohd is on long leave after his term as chief editor of Utusan is not extended. Khalid appeared at the Ministry of Defence's Press Night at Shangrila Hotel last night. Media friends won't tell where Khalid is going after this. Khalid is not a person who will share his views on himself to people.
